Jig-Saw Puzzle Graze Sweeping Over Maritimes

HAITAX, March 24—(C.P.)- bug has bitten the Jifaritimes. Its victims, afflicted with a, semi-permanent crimp in llir- back fPOm bendng over tables littered with colored cut-outs, are increasing daily as the jig-saw vir- lls spreads with devastating effect.

"Stone nulls do not a prison make . . . . .." At least. not while there are jig-saws to be done. The craze has penetrated behind tho bars of some of our best jails and now, after a hard day's Work at ‘imakirlg littlc ones out of big

As for the explanation, opinions vary widely, but one Halifax psy- chologist appears to have as good a theory as any. Jig-saws, he says, satisfy a craving to do something apparently difficult, although ac- tually easy. They allow the puzzler, he claims, to accomplish a pious- ing pcce of wouln without mlich mental exertion.

Dr. S. H. Prince, psychologist at Dalhousie University, believer. the popularity of the fad to be duc to mob psychology ~the desire to imitate. Incidentally, he holds that jig-saws reveal interesting traits of character in the persons solving them. For instance, a. hit-or-mias style in ‘ lug puzzlcslreveals a person who would go about his ordinary duties in haphazard fash- ‘ion. On the other hand, he says, a .methodlcal. logical thnking per- son would carefully size up the ‘situation: look over the pile of lulits. locate thc right one and slip it into position on the first or se- cond try.

Another Halifax doctor has been experimenfng with jig-saws. He holds a. watch while adults work them and then hands the puzzles

invariably assembles them in half the time of the older fans, demon- strating that whatever other quali- fications may be needed, abnormal

' brain capacity is not a requisite of the jig-saw puzzle expert-

St. Eleanors Win Clark Trophy

A large number of hockey fans were at Bedeque rink ‘ Monday night, March 13th, to witness the first of a series of two Billie-i I91‘ the winners of theCIark trophy- The finals were between St. Elean- ors and Albany St. Pats. The teams put up an excclient brand of hock- ey and the game was vcry close throughout. Very few penalties were handed out by the referee. The two goalies, Mabey and Bar- low, were in good form and mode some sensational saves. Mills oif St. Eleanors started the scoring in the first period on a nice play. This was soon followed by a goal for Albany from the stick of Hef- fell who went through on a clever piecc of work. The second period went scoreless. While -in the third Thomas scorrd again for st. Elean- ors- The gamc ended with Albany forcing the play and, final score. St. Eleanors 2. Albany 1. Frank MacFarlanc rcferccd in a very im- partial manner. ,

Bcdcquc rink was once more the scene of a battle royal when St. Eleanors and Albany St. Pats met for tho final game of the Clark Icaguc on Wednesday, March 15. The stormy nfght was a great dis- appointment to a large lumber of fans. However, there was a large attendance and there sure were plenty of thrills. The St. Pats were out to overcome the one goal lead of st, Eleanors, and by spells they certainly made it hot for Bar- low. The first period was sOOIélBSS with both teams playing offensive hockey. Mllia started the scoring

in thc srcond period when he ‘brokc through the defence and shot from close in. The St. Pats

went out in the third period de- termined to oven matters up, Dur- ing the last half of the period they played five men up and kept Si. Ifleanors pretty well bottled up- ‘Ihclr efforts were finally reward-

Whether man, within that per-l 10d or beyond it will find an answ- er to the age old question as to the possibility of intelligent life be- yond the earth, he is not prepared to say. | "It is reasonable to assume, how- ever, that thousands of yellow stars closely resembling our sun in phy- sical and dlexnical characteristics are quite as likely to have habit. ab'e planets circulating about them as has our sun." he said, "I suspect that life would develop on g, planet NM? for it as naturally as famil-

“But believing, as I do, that the progress of science ill the next 100 years will be even more rapid t-hanl in the last, I think it unwise to act limits on discovery for the future." The occasion for Dr~ Frost's rc- marks was the recently announced discovery of Dean Charles B. Lip- man of the University of California that bacteria had been found i8 the interior of stone meteorites-m fact which llasled some scientists to speculate further on the theory that original forms of terrestrial life may have been brought to tllc earth by these aeroiites hundreds of millions of years ago.

Dr. Frost said that positive proof of the existence of living organisims in meteorites would only shift the point of origin to some other unknown body. 1n this connection he also called at- tention to the slowness of any in- tar-communication in siderial spaces.

G. N. R. And C. P. R. Agree T0 Pooling? Of Passenger Ser-f vices Between M0ii- i treal And Toronto —0ttawa and Tor-

(Spcciai to the Guardian) .MONU1‘ON. N. B. March 24- Thc following official Stfllfilllfflltz was isaucd jointly today by Cail- l adais two rllajol‘ railway’ frysicnls l The Canadian Pacific and Cuiladi- l an National Railways have agreed in principle to pooling of compet- itive passcllgcr service wherever practicable. Detailed arrangements for making thc pool effective, east and west, will take some time to complete but in order to effect

panics have arranged for a partial pooling of passenger service be- tween Montreal and Toronto, and the pooling of all passenger scr- vice Ottawa-Toronto, lhcsc con- solidations to be effective on Slin- dny, Aipril 2nd.

An economy of well ovor half a liiillion dollars per year will result from these initial developments in the pooling arrangements. Under the llcw plan effective Silllflfly, Aipril 2nd, thc fast afternoon train service between Montreal and To- ronto will be consolidated. Instead of the two fast trains each way daily. there will be one afternoon pool train in each direction.

The westbound pool train will leave Windsor Station daily at 3.15 pan. and travel over Canadian Pa- cific tracks to Dorvai, where it will cross over to the Canadian National llnce, for thc ilalancc of its journey to Toronto, which will

will connect with a leaving Ottawa at 3.15 p.111. The eaetlbouild aftcrnoon pool train will leave Toronto by Canadian National Railways at 3.30 pm. and will arrive Bonaventure Station, Montreal at 10 pm, At Brockvillc a pool train for Ottawa will con- ncct with ‘this fast afternoon train the passengers using this service arriving at the capital ciiy at 10.10 p.m. The trains in this sen/ice will b0 dCSiBIlfli-cd and advertised as D001 trains and tlic tickets by other company will be honored 0n them. Between Ottawa and Toron- to thc Canadian National will pool its day and flight trains with the Canadian Pacific. The pooled night service for the traffic of both lin- cs will be over the tracks of the Canadian Pacific via. Pctcrboro. The Canadian Pacific will maln- tain its morning service between Ottawa and Toronto and accept through tickets of both companies of these trains.
